No, that one is way larger.
That blossom is only about 1" in diameter.


Wow, that one is tiny. The orange butterflies I saw in Lakeway had about a
2" wingspan, which is why I didn't believe they could be Queen butterflys.
None of the skippers in the book we had looked the same.

I dunno what exactly they are... :-)
The Order Lepidoptera contains oh so many families etc. G

There are hundreds currently competing for water in the yard. We just
strung a new soaker hose in the herb garden.

Poor little things!

I'm enjoying them tho' but I wish I had more flowers.

I'm going to go to the store in the morning and pick up some fresh fruit
and put out some butterfly feeders. I feel sorry for them.
